Fairy Wishes

This card was made with another of my new Lili of the Valley stamps which I think is just gorgeous. I've used a brown and pink colour scheme and different layers of scalloped and plain circles to make the card and added a greeting from Craftwork Cards. I'm entering this one in two challenges:

Lili of the Valley - anything but a square card

Totally Gorjuss - 'as you like it'

Another Valentine Card

Here's another valentine card made with one of my Greetings Farm stamps - if you look closely, she's holding an envelope with a little heart on it! I've used some Dovecraft heart paper, punched hearts and some ribbon on a scalloped Craftwork Cards blank. I'm entering this one in the following challenges:

A Spoonful of Sugar - valentine

Charisma Cardz - valentine/love

Bunny Zoe - love is in the air

Paper Sundaes - valentine

I Love Promarkers - Lavender and Lace

I've made this card for the current challenge on I Love Promarkers which is 'lavender and lace'. I've used a Little Claire Deisgns stamp called 'Victoria' and coloured her with Promarkers. The background is Craft Creations gingham paper layered onto lilac card which I punched at the top and bottom with my Martha Stewart punch. I've added piece of lace across the middle and then used a scalloped card - I cut off one side so it's just scalloped at the top and bottom to match the punching. The greeting is from Craftwork Cards.

Winter Wonderland - My Sentiments Exactly

The current challenge at Winter Wonderland is called 'My Sentiments Exactly' - the idea is to make a card where the sentiment is the focus. It's not something I usually do but I've realised it's a great idea for using up papers that I wouldn't normally use because of the design on them. The paper I've used on this card is from a Kars pad - because of the little snowmen I would find it difficult to use it with a stamped picture image but with a sentiment it works perfectly. My sentiment is from Penny Black - I usually use it inside my Christmas cards but I think it works just as well on the outside.

Black, White and Pink

This is something a little bit different for me - iris folding. It's a great way to use up left over pieces of paper and I really like the way it looks too. I've used black paper with two different patterned papers from Craftwork Cards and finished the card with peel off lines, dots and a greeting. I'm entering the card in the current Pollycraft Monday Challenge which is black, white plus one other - in my case pink!

One Stop Craft Challenge - ATCs Anything Goes

The theme on for this week on One Stop Craft Challenge is ATCs - Anything Goes.  I love making ATCs so this one is perfect for me!  I've used one of my new Crafty Individuals stamps to make this ATC - it's from a plate of designs of children and the word 'smile' is from the same plate.  I punched out the letters individually to make it a look a bit different and added some patterned paper down one side of the pink card.

ABC Christmas Challenge

The theme for the second challenge of the year on the ABC Christmas Challenge Blog is "B is for black and white". There is a very cute free digi on the blog to use for this card but my printer is on its way out at the moment (I'll be getting a new one very soon) and doesn't produce good enough printed images for me to use with digis. So instead, I've used a peel off nativity scene with some black and white paper, a stamped greeting from Personal Impressions and some black gems.
